Question

I get a message when I send 111 page document for e-signatures "page limit exceeded. Page limit is 100 pages." I've never gotten this msg before and have sent larger documents. Any help appreciated.

Trying to send 111 page document for e-signing but get msg that says page limit is exceeded. Have never gotten this msg before and have sent larger documents. I’ve compressed the document several times but msg continues to come back with “exceeds page limit.” 

Frustrating as this document is time sensitive.

    Hi there 

     

    Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

     

    The "Page limit exceeded" error is tied to your Adobe Acrobat Sign service level, not the file size or compression. The 100-page per transaction limit applies to the following plans:

    - Acrobat Standard
    - Acrobat Pro
    - Acrobat Sign SMB
    - Acrobat Sign for Business

    Compressing the document won't help here, the limit is based on page count, not file size. This is why compression didn't change anything.
     

    If you've successfully sent larger documents previously, it's likely that the documents you sent before were under 100 pages when all attached files were counted together in a single transaction. For more information, please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/transaction-limits.html 
     

    Since this document is time-sensitive, try to split the document into two parts, split the 111-page document into two separate PDFs (e.g. pages 1–55 and 56–111) and send them as two separate e-signature requests. This stays within the 100-page limit per transaction on your current plan.

    To split in Acrobat: Open the PDF > Tools > Organize Pages > Split > set the split point > Save.

     

    Let us know how it goes.
